Well my friend warned me that when her friend had used crest white strips "too much" her teeth began to become lightbluish- transparent. I've only used it about 5 days out of the 10 days... and already my bottom of my top teeth and my top of the bottom teeth are transparent. I know it makes my teeth sensitive but the last time i've used them was about 2 weeks ago. My teeth don't hurt or anything its just been that bluish-transparent on the tips for that long. Will they stay like this forever?

Yes, your teeth will probably stay that bluish color since it sounds as if you damaged the enamel. These kits are not meant to be used two weeks apart! Most kits must not be used more than once every 6 months...read the directions for your specific kit. Continuously using the bleach does not whiten your teeth further, it weakens them! One treatment of an over the counter product will get them as white as they are going to get using such a product.
When "bleaching junkies" overuse whitening kits, they are destroying the enamel on their teeth. Some have destroyed it so totally that they have had to have veneers done.
For best results and the highest degree of whitening, the expertise of a dentist is recommended. He can determine the best bleaching method (there are several) for you based on your health of your teeth and how much whitening is needed. Even now, a dentist would not bleach your teeth for at least six months due to the recent use of a bleaching kit.
